I just installed my first AMD x2 system on the Ultra-D, and I noticed there is a 12V power plug on the mb. Do i have to plug the power into that?

See picture here.

It's the plug with red circle around it.

Thanks

DFI suggests using all of the power headders on the motherboard for optimum stablity. I do not use that or the floppy power plug, as its mostly for SLI, but every board + chip will react differently.

My setup runs fine with the need to use the floppy and molex power plugs.

I started my system up for the first time with neither the molex or the floppy power plugged in and when I realised and plugged both in, I didn't notice a difference.
